Small successes

Time for Small Successes once again. These are the only kind of successes I have these days!

1. Boxed and shipped my son's clothes to his school. United Airlines completely messed up his reservations and then refused to check his bags. WE ARE NEVER USING UNITED AGAIN, by the way. So I had to spend $70 to ship him his stuff. But, just getting to the post office is a big one for me. I also got a bunch of forever stamps, since the rates are going up in May.

2. I found a fabulous pram style stroller at the thrift store for 12 dollars. I love it, it is so cute, and baby fell asleep in it as we took a walk.

3. I took a walk. One mile. Once this week. Now this could be a failure, because I was hoping to go every day, but I am counting it as a success, because last week I took zero walks. Moving in the right direction.

4. and Finally, I got Melanie's birth announcements printed up yesterday. Next task, addressing and actually mailing them. Hopefully that will be on next weeks small successes list.

Prayer to the Holy Spirit

O Heavenly King, Consoler, Spirit of Truth, Who art in all places, and fillest all things. Treasury of Goodness and Giver of Life, come and take up Thine abode amongst us. And cleanse us of every stain, and save our souls, O Good One.
